Welcome to the CGIC 2018

09:45 – 10:30 Uhr

Keith Jeffery, Head of Automotive

Taylor James

Quicker, Better, Cheaper!

We are all under pressure to over-deliver on our previous results, but typically we could only ever achieve two of the three requests. But Taylor James has developed a suite of proprietary tools that deliver marked improvements against all three of these criteria. These tools enable artists to focus on the quality of the image rather than the repetitive tasks that go hand-in-hand with large scale CGI asset production.

Join Keith Jeffery, Head of Automotive, as he discusses how Taylor James enables faster delivery of even higher levels of creative realism in the most cost-effective ways possible and learn how “quicker, better, cheaper” can be a reality on your next production.

10:30 – 11:00 Uhr
